Etcher is now a ZIP. (https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v1.19.25/balenaEtcher-linux-x64-1.19.25.zip)

(also this package is out of date)

Why is this package forcing use of lts nodejs instead of regular nodejs?

There is an alternative download source for the headers here: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v20.x/node-v20.13.1-headers.tar.gz

Given that, the fix to the pkgbuild is quite simple:

replace: export npm_config_disturl=https://electronjs.org/headers with: export npm_config_disturl=https://nodejs.org/dist/

might want to use the pre-release for now as 1.18.14 doesn't work because of this bug: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/4138

It's fixed in the pre-releases: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases

Electron dependency seems to be outdated, should it not just use the electron package that is available via pacman?
